I just saw on the TV that someone has written a program for the ATARI VCS
called "Custer's Revenge".  It seems that in this game the player controls
an image of Custer to dodge around a steady rain of Indian arrows.  The
object of the game is to have the graphically excited Custer couple with
a well-endowed smiling Indian maiden.  It seems that the REAL Indians are
quite upset since it smacks of video rape (the manufacturer says its not
rape, you see she IS smiling).  Also ATARI is upset since they say that
they make a family entertainment system and they don't think it should be
used for this kind of thing.

The bottom line is that ATARI is suing the manufacturer for creating a
cartridge that uses their machine in this obscene fashion.  If they win,
it presents some interesting possibilities.  How about if AMDAHL sues
IBM for writing obscene code (IMS? MVS?) that runs on their machine.
But I digress, any opinions on this?  Anybody out there got a copy of
the game?
